After Christmas Eve Service, we were packing and making sure the cathedral and back to normal for Christmas Day service...

Out of sudden, he asked me, are you READY to receive your Christmas gift?

I thought, why am i have to be ready?

Then.. Tada...I was breathless for awhile. And then i responded him, Wei.. Don't play with people ring la.. Give it back to people. Very expensive one ah...

He look at he with his normal speechless look and said, i won't play with this kind of things.So... I happily received it and jumping home.. Looking at the ring and couldn't believe it and still breathless... I was totally surprised and never expect anything from him this Christmas. I couldn't stop thanking God for a fiancée like him. The Lord has given me a great man.

The ring was engraved the date he asked me to marry him. 16.03.10 and it was given to me on Christmas Day. A bit weird but anyway, now I feel more than before that I am engaged.

This is what we have been practising and practising and practising while i have been stressing and stressing and stressing about.. The Christmas Eve Service presentation that called Christmas Canticles and a Christmas Day Service Presentation. While we are preparing...This is the real thing...All together, there are 10 songs... I have cheorograph about 8 songs...This is Christmas Day presentation. It's a banner and ribbon kind of dance...

I really thank God that with His grace that is sufficient, we all have fun in the midst of madness and stress and they all did very well. It's my honor to dance with them as young as they are.

Christmas is a time of giving. I always love Christmas… This is the third year that I will be celebrating Christmas here. This year will be different…

Therefore, I would like to give a small gift to my dancers. I have about 20 of them. So, you can imagine how heavy the cost will be for one person to give 20 gifts. Some more it is not easy to find a nice and cheap stuff.

Low and behold, I decided to try to handmade some craft to them. Firstly, it’s cheap. Secondly, I can enjoy myself though it takes a lot of time but slowly, I started to like it. Last night I tried a made a present. I will think it is a successful one. I like it….

So, this shall be my new hobby. It can help me to release my stress, stay away from all the burden work, relax my emotions and meditate on God’s word.

As I am preparing for tomorrow short testimony, I have to search back some old photos to make my testimony interesting. Low and behold, I found this. I knew her since i was 10 years old. We get to know each other well after about 16 years of spending time crying, laughing, scolding, angrying, holding the phone and not talking, hugging, encouraging, supporting, listening and more to come in the future.

Sometimes, life can be very confusing. Mr Anonymous said you must do ABC in order to succeed in life. Then after a week or two weeks, he said you must do CBA. Then a few months later, Mr Anonymous said again, do BCA. Then a few months later, it change again.

Imagine this is only three words. In alphabetical word, there are 26 alphabets. How many times should it be changed in order to get the right one?

It is such a great joy to hear my dearly childhood friend is pregnant. The kind of feeling when no words can express.

I still remember vividly that when we were teenager, we discuss who is the first one that get married. Who will be pregnant first and we should be pregnant together... All these kind of discussion are funny and silly at the same time.

Now that we have grown up, we all have our own busyness and our own family. Friendship might no longer be the first priority in our life.

Nevertheless, growing up together with them are my blessing. We laugh together, cry together, encourage one another and love each other with a sincere and genuine heart. And we will still love each other though we are all over the place now.** Congratulation Chok (Chin) Shiau Ching **

I couldn’t believe that 4 days pass so fast. I really enjoy myself. Enjoy the time I spend being along and doing a non-routine job. I only manage to do some of my ‘to do’ list. I didn’t manage to finish the book I planned to read, couldn’t find enough time to play online games, plan my next year holiday, study other churches stuff and take some crazy photos for my blog but I did update my blog.

Though only considered 3 days leave and this 3 days every night also have to go to ministries and on and off have to go back to office for meeting, I enjoy myself with listening to music, arranging photos, checking out what to cook for the next meal and need not to think about work. I wish I took a longer leave.

After these few days of ‘out of office’ leave, tomorrow have to step back into my office and start to work like mad again. Christmas is coming, Children Worship Conference is around the corner and Clergy and Pastors in-charge meeting is even closer. It’s time to start back engine and work all my best. Hopefully I can take some time out again to do what I normally wish to do but do not have enough time to do.

Sometimes, working in my field makes me forgot that there is grace, there is hope, and there is Jesus. Today, I thank God that I meet someone like Him. Someone that will not judge me or condemn me for things that I have not do or things that I have not done enough but to care for me and to care about my journey.

Working here for more than 2 years... sometimes, I get really tired and word of encouragement is the first thing I need but I don’t normally get it. Feeling of dry and empty seems like a normal issue and I have to learn to stand up myself and be strong again.

Today I realise that there is hope, there is grace. God is good. When I nearly forgot that I have Jesus, he shows me one with sending a person to encourage and to care. To always know that there is grace from God.

One of my listing in to do task is cook new stuff... And first time trying..

So, ta da..First day, I boiled salted vegetable and taufu. Successful!!!~~~ He said I scored 10 out of 10.

Second day lunch, I fried mihun. This is a failure. I put in long bean which taste weird... Consider this a failure through still can eat.Then continue with dinner, suppose to be lotus root and peanut soup but I bought wrong stuff that turn out to be lotus root and cranberry bean soup. He said nice too... So, it’s ok.. Consider pass.Third day, dinner that is today. I tried steam egg with carrot that taught by my dearly ex-housemate. Low and behold, it turn out become like this. It tastes nice though it look ugly.The first time I fried chicken too and successful. It turn out taste really nice and very well cooked. Overall, I started to have fun in cooking and trying out new stuff. Some learn from friends and moms. Some learn from my common sense.

To be very honest... I don't really like Chinese food even though I am a pure Chinese. I like to eat bread but with too many of that, I will grow rounded. Recently with the need to change my lifestyle, I have to learn to cook. Low and behold, I found out that I don’t really like to cook. No wonder I don’t cook. Hehe...

To learn how to cook, have to start to pay attention to some of the mother’s tips. I have to go to book stores to find some cooking books, do online research about the cooking method and have to search some recipe in my Ipod. And because I am in love with a typical Chinese man which only likes Chinese food, so my research is only in Chinese food for this season. After i have master chinese food, i will manipulate him to eat non-chinese food with me. Hehehe...

So far, what have I learn? Seriously… not much… But am grateful that I am not learning it alone.

It’s been a very long time that I stop cooking until recently. Have to start to learn how to cook so that when the time has come, it will not be a major changes in my lifestyle.Hmm... Not bad...Through there are some failure in the fried rice, but overall, it is good.The egg is nice too... At least nicer than his egg..And we enjoy the meal together.

It’s been a journey of 2 years and 5 months. On and off, we have been travelling in order to meet with each other. I can’t believe that I said this, but I think I will really miss long distance.

Being apart from each other is really torturing. At the same time, we have learnt to enjoy it. Everything comes with good and bad, the same goes to this. I still remember that I cried most of the moment when we are departing and it took me at least two days to settle myself emotionally.

Being apart is a test, a test of faithfulness, commitment and communication. When things went wrong and both of us started to have work piling up, it is a test of commitment that do we still take out the small window of time to spend together even though we are tempted to use that small gap for a quick nap. Both of us have learnt a lot. I thank God for his grace that sufficient for us. Long distance used to be one of our biggest fears. Now, with God’s grace, we have tasted His faithfulness.
